Experience of the stay
Arrived at check-in time of 14:00. I received fruit water and took the amenities and coffee to my room.
The room is a twin room with a bed in a Japanese style. I was happy to see that the washbasin and bath in the room also had hot spring water. After taking a breather, I explored the facility.
In front of the large public bath, there’s drinkable hot spring water (drinking spring), so I tried a cup. It definitely has the scent of hot spring water. It seems good for the body. By registering as a member of Fujita Kanko, you can receive an empty bottle, so I filled that bottle with the drinking spring water to take home.
Near the large public bath, there are rooms with manga and a massage room. There are also table tennis and mahjong tables available.
The baths are lukewarm and hot, including an outdoor bath. Since it was not crowded, I was able to relax in all of them. Cleansing and skincare products are provided.
In the room, there’s a face mask sheet, so I soaked it in hot spring water for a pack. I also used the spray with the bottle I got.
I thoroughly enjoyed the hot springs.
Experiences during the trip
Purchased bread at SAZANKA near Ito Station and headed to the hotel. You can also have lunch at the bakery cafe. After a little snack, I went to see cherry blossoms in the area. I found a lovely cafe on the way, but it was closed.
There's a 24-hour supermarket next to the hotel, so I bought food and anything I needed there and returned. At night, there was a heavy thunderstorm, so I was worried about the weather, but the next day was clear and sunny.
After checking out, I took a stroll while viewing the cherry blossoms and walked to Orange Beach. While walking, I thought about where to have lunch and decided to go to Takamaru Shokudo near the station. I had a sashimi platter set meal. The fresh sashimi was delicious. The seafood bowl looked good too, so I want to try it next time.
After lunch, I went to nearby Beya Coffee. When I ordered an iced coffee, it came without ice, and it was deliciously bitter. I was going to ask for less ice, but I didn’t need to.
Wanting to see a little more cherry blossoms, I headed to Ito Park near the station. When I climbed up to the observatory (not very high), I found a spot where the cherry blossoms and the sea were visible. There were already many cherry leaves, but it was beautiful. A squirrel was running around in the trees, but it was too fast for me to capture in a photo.
It had been a while since I visited Ito, but I enjoyed visiting new places as well.
